Happy 4th of July!

We survived the 4th of July. This 4th wasn't as fun and memorable as the last few years because we didn't have family up to enjoy it with. We even missed the West Salem fireworks last weekend due to the heat and well... we just didn't feel like it. We did however see a few fireworks last night in the neighbors back yard. During the daylight they were just shooting roman candles at each other but as the sky got darker the fireworks got louder and better. Needles and I watched from the front porch peeking around the house as bright rockets shot up through the smoke and illuminated the night sky for a brief second. Today we went South to Needles Moms. The Uncles had bought 6 chickens and decided to smoke them in the smoker. They were very good and I quickly ate my fill and then some. Before long it was time to return home, to laundry and all the things needing to be done before work tomorrow. Hope everyone had a happy fourth of July.
